21 Reasons Why I'm Excited Baseball is Back

We all know what it feels like to have your favorite sport come back into season. It makes you excited, nervous, and everything in between. This is especially the case when you have 21 reasons to be ecstatic that baseball is back:

1. This means that summer is almost here.

2. My favorite NBA team failed me and I'm ready for some success.

3. Bryce Harper is still hitting dingers.

4. Baseball players sometimes become gymnasts.

5. I miss ballpark hotdogs during the offseason.

6. Things are actually looking good for the Cubs this year.

7. It's finally acceptable to wear my jerseys again.

8. They're the most graceful type of athlete.

9. Even short people can play.

10. You can dodge your responsibilities by watching a game.

11. Celebrating big wins with friends.

12. 9/10 times, the first pitch is way more entertaining than the entire game.


13. An update of this year's free giveaways is a necessity.

14. You see some of the weirdest fans on TV.

15. Their celebrations are almost as good as the NFL's.

16. Disappointments show you how truly invested you are in your team.

17. Players are just so close to each other.

18. Sometimes the pitcher is so relatable.

19. The mascots are your spirit animals.

20. Because you never know what A-Rod is going to do.

21. Because I miss attending as many games as possible over the summer way too much.

I feel that even if you aren't a huge fan of baseball, attending games with your closest friends and family is so much fun. Although people say this sport is one of the most boring of all time, there's clearly so many things that also make it one of the most interesting sports of all time. Whether it's a flip over the stands to catch a foul ball or A-Rod being A-Rod, you never realize how much you miss baseball until it's the offseason.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
